If this is the same dotCloud I used to push to, the real value proposition are the friendliness represented in both the interface and the people behind it offering the most patient customer support a hopeless idiot like myself could wish fo

It looks like there are a few things blocking (slowing) the loading of the page - could be fonts or some social-media stuff. Great project! :)

As has been said, this should be no surprise at all - especially if you've followed phenomenons like the Harry Potter books that got the same treatment. Amazon underbid competitors on the short tail and make it up on the long tail. Ama

tl;dr: Digg was the original reddit - much bigger, reddit was the underdog. Digg did a redesign that was absolutely horrible and created a huge backlash. Because Digg did not create a backup/proper versioning, they couldn't go bac

I imagine they would leave it alone as much as possible, because they aren't sure what's bringing in all the traffic. Wouldn't want to be another Digg.

The lipstick one seems pretty silly - especially if one is familiar with the idiom "lipstick on a pig".

Been trying to buy a 3210 as a back-up phone for many years, but even now, I find the form factor to be pretty weird. Just go with the 3210 design, and I'm down for one.

Scuttlebutt is they're still in talks with them. What's really weird to me is that it isn't on iTunes.

Also depends on the voicemail interface; American iOS users get a fancy voicemail interface in most cases, whereas many of us elsewhere have to go through pure voice and dial, which takes forever.

I recommend everyone to subscribe to China Labour Watch [ http://chinalaborwatch.org ]. Reports of workplace abuse are so recurring that you end up dying a little inside from reading about one huge company after the other pulling

Wired has been Press Release As a Service for a long time. Not that they don't make great articles, but that just makes it worse in lending those articles legitimacy.

Won't help you on iOS. Incidentally, it feels these days like half of the websites I open in TweetBot's WebView break completely, usually due to a delayed pop-up ad. It's the dumbest trend, which, at best, only works on deskt

I think we all like to think that, but it’s worked well for me in the past, when I had a school paper or something with a nasty deadline. I used Freedom ( https://macfreedom.com ) for that. EDIT: However, these things work less an

Even the New York Times have this weird discrepency between desktop and mobile articles, where the mobile articles just flat-out do not include some of the media and information of the full article.

This is fantastic, but there are two things I would love more emphasis on: 1) The explicit license. 2) Table of browser support (and fall-backs).
